Looking for a high chair but not just any old high chair. I have been there trying to find one that was cleanable, useful, would it last 6 months or 6 years. There is a one out there. Not only could you practically take it outside and wash it down with a hose if it was that bad but it will last. Maybe you want 3 kids and this is your first. It will most likely be in good condition come that third kid. Take the chair outside, why not.

High chairs of my past have had food buildup on them and it was gross. The chairs seats would be covered in something I don't even know what you'd call it. Food gets stuck int he cracks on the chair and in the cloth seats. Theres eventually a point of no return ad you just have to toss it out. Up Wee Go Step Up High Chair is the perfect gift for that expecting mom too! Kids use high chairs for over a year. It's worth the investment if it makes the parents life easier.

They even have stairs you can use to climb up into bed or attach to the slide for some fun times. I don't know about you but my son is 1. He sits in a high chair everyday and gets so messy. We also have a plastic slide that he loves. I have never seen a toy used so much. If only the steps on my slide came off like the Up Wee Go High Chair that would make life easy and also possibly brushing teeth.

Gluten Free Chocolate Covered Cherries and White Chocolate Coconut Square Bites #Recipe using Clif Bars! #gfWalmart #GF #Spon


Disclaimer: I received compensation through Sverve to facilitate a review/recipe.  All opinions, and images are my own.


My family already enjoys Clif Bars, so when I was asked to create a recipe using the Gluten Free Clif bar I was super excited.  Walmart always has a huge variety of Clif bars.  Also they are pretty low cost,  considering they are Gluten Free, up to 9grams+ Protein, and Vitamins for under $1.50 a bar. You'd be surprised at all the Gluten Free Products at Walmart.


I may be addicted to a certain Kitchen Show that you take an already made ingredient, and use it in your recipes.  This is a very easy recipe that I even had my family help turn the  Clif Bars into the chocolate candy bites.


This is how to make Gluten Free Chocolate Covered Cherries, and White Chocolate Coconut Squares using Clif Bars.



Ingredients Needed,
  • Wax Paper
  • Double Boiler (Or use Microwave on 50% Power.)



Cut the Mojo Bar into desired squares. I made my squares a little smaller and wanted to do 10 White Chocolate squares.

Melt the White Chocolate Chips. I used a double boiler, if you dont have one just use the microwave on 50% power for 30 seconds (Don't forget to adjust the Power down or it will burn the chocolate!)




I like the White chocolate to be moldable and not completely melted, and mold it flat on the wax paper. Take a Clif bar square fast, and wrap into the white chocolate like you are making a square present.

Roll the White Chocolate Coated Square into the coconut flakes onto all 4 sides.




Cut the Luna Bar into 4 squares, and then flatten the squares a little thin.

Place a Cherry in the middle of the flattened Luna Bar. Roll into a ball, with the cherry in the middle.

Place on a plate with wax paper.

Melt the Milk Chocolate Chips.



Spoon Chocolate on to the Luna Bar Circles. Repeat until you have your desired thickness of chocolate. I did a few that you could still see an open side of the Chocolate Covered Cherry like it was a mini bowl too.

Go back to the White Chocolate Squares, and pour a little Milk Chocolate if you'd like, and place an Almond on top before it cools.

Refrigerate to help harden the chocolate up, if you want it soft, it's still good!


I already want to make more! I only used 2 Clif Bars, and still have a jar of Cherries ( I love baking these cherries into treats too,) and a lot of chocolate chips left from the Bags I bought. This is a fun no bake alternative. If you want to find more gluten free recipes check out Walmarts Gluten Free in-store event on January 24. I will be going to my Local Participating Store!

Easy turning your car into a #HotSpot with @ATT Unite for GoPhone by @NETGEAR #HolidayGiftGuide #Spon

Disclaimer: I received products to facilitate a review.  All opinions are my own.


Need a few ideas for last minute Gifts? Maybe someone wants a cell phone, or you want to turn your car into a mobile hot spot? GoPhones are affordable, and NO Hidden FEE's!! The cards are easy to find, and most grocery stores, and Best Buy sells them.


What I like about ATT's Go Phone is that there are NO Contracts. It's Pay as you go Plan that still has the latest technology products.


Recently I received ATT's Unite GoPhone by NetGear Mobile Hot Spot. It can connect up to 10 Devices while on The AT&T 4G Network. The Hotspot has a Touch screen which is easy to use.  It's also easy to activate, and install.  I had mine activated within minutes.  

(Click to Enlarge Data Plan Info.)

The wifi network admin login, and passcode is right on the HotSpot Screen (Which only the owner can see.) There is also an option to have a Guest Log-in.  The NearGear hotspot tells you how many devices, and device name is connected to your Network.  To find out how much data usesage is being used, I just log into my account.  Right now I have the $25.00/Month Plan.  That's for 1.5GB of Data.  I think it's perfect for those Nights we are stuck on the ferry, and the Long drives to my parents house. Also not everywhere has Internet, let alone a secure Wifi Connection. This would be perfect for the ones that don't feel comfortable connecting to Open Wifi Networks.


We were stuck on the Ferry tonight, and the Hotspot was a Sanity Saver for my 4 year old, and his Innotab Max Tablet.  He uses his tablet for Youtube, and Nick Jr Games. It's an HOUR wait when you miss the Ferry for the next Ferry. There is no "Free Wifi" in the Country.  Some places don't have internet, but cell phones work!  I liked the convenience of the HotSpot in the car the most so far.


More Info for the AT&T Unite for GoPhone by NETGEAR (Prepaid)
Same features as the AT&T Unite in a prepaid version
• Connect up to 10 WiFi devices
• Secure Internet access via AT&T’s 4G LTE network
• Easy to use color touchscreen
• Up to 10 hours of battery life
Price: $99.99 with no annual contract, no credit check, and no monthly commitment.
Availability: Now, on Amazon and at Walmart or Best Buy stores.

WowWee #Tipster My First #Robot #Review #HolidayGiftGuide @WowWeeWorld #Spon

Disclaimer: This is a sponsored Post, I was compensated for my Opinion.


My 4 year old loves Tipster. Tipster is WowWee's My first Robot for ages 4+. I love that he's fast, and the controller is easy enough for younger kids to use.


Also comes with a Capsule that lid unscrews, and the Game for the interactive ladders, and Robots are stored in. It's a fun twist to Barrel of Monkeys, but it's full of Robots, Which makes it more epic.


Check out my Tipsters Sweet Moves in the video.



Here is the fun part of the Review that no one likes to show.  Installing the batteries.  It takes 4 Double AA in the Tipster Robot, and 3 AAA in the Remote Control.  Installing the batteries was as easy as unscrewing one small screw on each item, placing the batteries, and putting the screw back in.  There is a On, Off switch on back of the Tipster, and he's ready to go.



Find more WowWee products by going here, and searching for WowWee.  Lots are on sale, and there are a ton of different Robots, Even Roborapters Best Buy has some WowWee's $10.00 off!

Who doesn't love Peeps? I can't believe all the new flavors and characters Peeps And Company have out now.  My personal favorites are the Ginger Bread Peeps, The Peppermint Peeps.  The Hot Cocoa & Cream Peeps are really good too. Check them out by going to https://www.peepsandcompany.com/brand/brands/peeps


Another thing I love about Peeps is the ability to place them on home made Cupcakes, and they turn into fun Minion Cakes!  My son just turned 4, and he is crazy about Peeps.  He isn't a fan of Chocolate, or Candy, but peeps? Peeps he loves to pieces.  


Peeps makes the perfect Holiday Treats.  Who needs to build a Snowman! Check out this huge  Peeps Snowman Marshmellow! 


Do you buy Peeps, or have a Peep Lover in your family too? Have ya seen the Giant Plush Peeps Pillow Characters, and Gifts?! They are beyond awesome!

#MrSketchHoliday Scented Markers #Review @Smiley360 #GotItFree #Spon #HolidayGiftGuide

Disclaimer: I received Product, and Compensation Through Smiley360, and Mr. Sketch Scented Markers to Facilitate a Review.


Majority of my family members are artistic one way or another.  We come from a family that has always used our hands, and our imaginations.  



Now since I have a son, I want him to have fun, and be able to draw, and express himself with art.  Mr. Sketch to me is the perfect Art Therapy.  Now only are you drawing, creating lines, and textures from overlapping the Marker Colors, it also has that sensory of scent.  



The Holiday scents are amazing, and make the Perfect Stocking Stuffers for the kids to add to their Wish List.



Check out Smiley360, and apply for future Missions by clicking here, http://h5.sml360.com/-/jorx.  I have been a Smiley member for Years now, and I've done some great Missions. Not only did I receive the Mr. Sketch Markers, I also received a $5.00 Walmart Gift Card to go Shopping for more markers.
